We were pleased with the assurances given by the Chairman of the AEC that he will take steps to improve the flow of information to the GAC so that it may successfully fulfil its obligations under the Atomic Energy Act to advise the Commission on scientific and technical matters, while the questions are still pending. \ 5. The Committee did not have enough information on the results of the recent weapon test in the Soviet Union to consider the implications of this important event.
